Pre-Game Talk: 2014-15 Playoffs - SCF: Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Chicago Blackhawks

[Rangerfan4life90]

Congrats on making the finals once again!

Please beat the western team, that's all I ask. Thanks

 

[DaBolts]

Soooooo I'm pretty sure it's sold out and the general public sale hasn't even opened up yet... Lol damn

They went on sale at 1 pm. Resales are up now and there are not that many. FWIW, there are upper deck tickets averaging after fees around $569 each; and I'm talking way, way, up there row M+....

 

[DaBolts]

I'd prefer Chicago because I think an Anaheim series would be similar to the Detroit series. Chicago will try to beat our speed and skill with theirs, whereas I can see the Ducks hooking and holding us into oblivion.

I'd prefer Chicago because I love the wide open game. Who wants to play the Red Wings Jr.?

 

[These Are The Days]

I'm going to have to make a new final fantasy gif.

But who to put in it?
Round one was Stamkos, Hedman and Bishop

Round 2 was TKO

Round 3 was the Rangers cast offs.

I'm thinking maybe the misfits.
Drouin JAM and one of Nesterov or Namestikov

Killorn, Filppula and Garrison

 

[Maelmoor]

What a wonderful feeling to watch the game and just enjoy the fact that we are there, hoping for a triple OT...at least!

 

[zeykshade]

I'm just sad that there will only be 2 more games in Amalie arena regardless of who we face

 

[Brie]

I don't have a favorite, I think we can play well against both. CHI will have the reffing on their side and while they have been bad in the past 3 series I think they can take it to a new level in the finals, ANA wont be like that but they are aslo tough in other ways...it will be a good and though series whoever we face.

Say what? maybe 3 or 4 depending

 

[Hoek]

No only two because we're gonna sweep them. Duuuhhh.

 

[CarpeNoctem]

I think we have an equal chance against either team. Chicago may be tougher for us because of Kane, Toews etc, but we'll have home ice. The Ducks will interfere a lot and try to suuper slow it down.

 

[Leonardo87]

Just think , later tonight we will have a whole new fan base to debate with. I believe it can only get better from here but could be wrong. Lol

First debate if it's Anaheim: Disneyland > Disney World

Can't multi quote for those of you that wanted a link, but I had a STM friend give me a presale code at 10:30, 30 mins before the first public presale, and I didn't have any luck, even with individual seats.

Just go to Ticketmaster.com.

It's going to get even more expensive if Chicago wins tonight.

FYI, StubHub was cheaper, at least at the upper levels.

 

[Brie]

Hawks score first. And I wasn't wrong with the reffing working in Hawks favour like the O6 team left they are.

Tampa bay is the O6 killers so it's all good. Lol

 

[Hoek]

That was an awful goal. Andersen sucks and Anaheim D was asleep.

 

[jeffl97]

Good luck Tampa.

 

[DaBolts]

Man, are these ticket prices going to go into the stratosphere on Monday.

If it is Chicago, which it looks like it will be, you're talking $500+ for nosebleed.

Bern's? Fawgeddaboutit!

Heck, Mel's Hot Dogs? Going to be tough to get in.

On the positive side, we get one more "original 6" victim to play.

 

[Marty Straka]

So if CHI wins that means Game 1 and 2 are in Tampa correct?

 

[CarpeNoctem]

Hawks up 3-0 halfway into the game... looks like we may get 4 home games in the Finals, baybee!!

Correct

Start the series thread - this ****'s done.

The bonus - if it is a jinx, it could lead to a nice 3OT game. But seriously - looks like four straight Original Six teams.
